It's not just PMs though: developers are forced into resume driven development by hiring practices. If they stick to the toolkit already established in the app

It's not just PMs though: developers are forced into resume driven development by hiring practices. If they stick to the toolkit already established in the app they set themselves up for a career trajectory towards Uber driver. The risk of knowing only what was fashionable five years ago is just too big.

50% of the reason Kubernetes is getting so popular, devops people need k8 experience to move up in their careers and therefor your company is now using k8.

  I think ai/llm have overtaken kubernetes in this regard, everything’s needs to be solved with AI, even if it doesn’t solve the problem in a better way. But I guess that’s also part of the learning process, trying it everywhere to learn from experience what doesn’t work.

    We’re adopting kubernetes to run “ai” with kubeflow. Modern problems require more problems taps forehead

> It's not just PMs though: developers are forced into resume driven development by hiring practices I was laid off from my last gig in January because the company was running out of money. Last week I saw a former coworker share how excited they were to turn a perfectly functional and internal website built with html and css into a react app with redux and nextjs. I couldn’t believe a company running out of money would have a developer do that when it doesn’t affect revenue generation whatsoever. And I can’t believe the dev didn’t stop to think that the previous website was already perfect. There were never any complaints. Their LinkedIn post had tons of likes. I’m happy that they were happy, but I was left a little concerned.

  Literal cargo culting. The mindset, of whoever is approving those decisions, is often that they just need the right software ‘cargo’ to attract more money and save the company.

  This is what happens when everyone is trying to do busy work to make themselves look productive and less likely to be laid off.

    Taking it a step further, this is what happens when the monetary authority's mandate is maximum employment and not maximum production. We're optimizing against efficiency.
